Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor™ 488-10 nm colloidal gold, Invitrogen™

Description

This 10 nm colloidal gold conjugate may be used as a probe in immunoblotting, light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy or electron microscopy. The fluorescence of this conjugate can be easily detected by standard techniques, but the ease of visualization of colloidal gold can be greatly improved using silver-enhancement methods, such as those we provide in the LI Silver Enhancement Kit (Cat. no. L-24919).

Anti-Rabbit secondary antibodies are affinity-purified antibodies with well-characterized specificity for rabbit immunoglobulins and are useful in the detection, sorting or purification of its specified target. Secondary antibodies offer increased versatility enabling users to use many detection systems (e.g. HRP, AP, fluorescence). They can also provide greater sensitivity through signal amplification as multiple secondary antibodies can bind to a single primary antibody. Most commonly, secondary antibodies are generated by immunizing the host animal with a pooled population of immunoglobulins from the target species and can be further purified and modified (i.e. immunoaffinity chromatography, antibody fragmentation, label conjugation, etc.) to generate highly specific reagents.
